So, are you saying that ANY team that loses to a lottery team at some point in the season sucks? Don't get me wrong -- I really REALLY wanted the Blazers to kick some dirt on Bennett's sleazeball, carpetbaggin franchise. It didn't happen tonight. But you know what? It will. And tomorrow morning, we will STILL be contending for the postseason, and the Blunder will STILL be wishing on ping-pong balls.
What's the beef between Cleavland and Washington? Indiana and Boston? Indiana and Lakers? Mil and Dallas? sorry, this was a big game we were supposed to embarrass the thunder due to them moving from the NW. first matchup between #1 and #2 in the draft. it was a bigger game than people seem to hold here. its not just they were a bad team, there is a certain vendetta for some.
No, its just supremely disappointing to lose to a lotto team. Unless you just want to say "well, we won other games" and leave it at that. losing sucks, especially to douchebags like Clay Bennett.
You might read that kind of shit around these fickle forums. But, anybody with a semblance of knowledge about the NBA understands that coming back from microfracture surgery and relearning your body compared to a full year of playing is like apples and oranges. One game is a sure a great outlook when comparing draft picks when speaking about guys who are 21 and 22 years old respectively.
I'm skimming through this thread quickly but I'll put a shout out to ADP . . . he is clearly a huge Blazer fan so I say go ahead and vent ADP, I hate losses too. Ugh what a way to start a weekend . . .
yeah, i know that. but most nba fans look at the short term and I hear it from my non-blazer friends and it sucks.
Do you think there's "beef"? I bet you the players couldn't give two fucks about the Thunder. Its another game in a season of 82. I'm sure that the first thing on the players mind was getting at that damn Clay Bennett because he wanted to bring Oklahoma City its first professional sports franchise.
probably not amoung the players. but for the NW, I wanted the blazers to destroy the thunder. I didn't even like the sonics at all but I thought it sucked they moved and clay bennett lied about his intentions to move the team.
I smile at my non-Blazer fan friends who talk shit, because I'm content knowing that they couldn't hold a candle when it comes to comparing knowledge of the game.
You are shitting me right? You don't know the beef between Cleveland and Washington? Anyways, I think we need an official venting thread that is stickied.
sorry but these players do not feel that its a rivarly anymore. you can tell they don't. so i don't consider it one anymore
I do. At least this season. The thunder make me sick, their fans make me sick. I remember their crowd, watching them win their first game and only wish misery in the NBA upon them. Actually I don't mind the team. Just the franchise and fans.
well, at least my main man ZBO led the clips to crush D-bag Miles and the Memphis Jizz. 35/10. 4 for 5 from behind the arc!
